The Frenchman is the fifth-most picked player on Dream Team so far this summer, with over 27% of fantasy football managers opting for the new boy.

So we were all eager to see how he’d get on in the Community Shield – and while failing to score – he did show glimpses of what he’s capable of.

The former Lyon man hit 37 goals in 45 games last season and there were signs of his fabled penalty box prowess at Wembley.

He went only inches away from scoring in the first-half, curling a lovely effort off the post to cap a decent free-flowing counter attack from the Gunners.

Linking up well with Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi in the Arsenal attack, you feel that with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil around him, Lacazette could seriously rake in the goals (and those Dream Team points) this season.

3 Chelsea’s squad is ridiculously small

While the Blues were only eight minutes away from securing their first piece of silverware of the new season, Conte’s side looked seriously under-stocked.

New signings Morata and Antonio Rudiger only made the bench for the season opener, with each making low-key appearances in the final 15 minutes (see below), while Timoue Bakayoko missed out all together through injury.

Selling the likes of Nemanja Matic, Nathaniel Chalobah and Nathan Ake this summer won’t make much of a difference to Conte’s preferred starting XI, but Chelsea’s squad is noticeably small compared to their rivals.

With the Blues back in the Champions League this season, and with added pressure from the their league rivals, Conte will be very keen to add to his squad numbers before the summer transfer window closes.

Morata was hot-property this summer, with the ex-Real Madrid striker eventually heading to Chelsea as a direct replacement for the seemingly outbound Diego Costa.

But it was last season’s misfit Michy Batshuayi who lead the line for the Blues at Wembley, while Morata had to make do with coming off the bench on the 74th minute.

And it’s safe to say the new signing fluffed his lines, shooting clean over the bar deep in the second-half before firing his penalty embarrassingly wide of Petr Cech’s goal during the shootout.

While not the most ideal start to his Stamford Bridge career, Morata is a proven goalscorer for both Madrid and Juventus in recent seasons and has all the right attributes to succeed in the Premier League.
